BothAnd is a collaborative exhibition of poetry by Brett Warren and visual art by Lauren Wolk that invites viewers to venture beyond the habits of binary, “either/or” thinking and embrace a more expansive “both/and” perspective, one spacious enough even for opposites. BothAnd reflects how those opposites can coexist side by side, interconnected—old and new, broken and whole, birth and death, grief and joy, presence and absence, seen and unseen. The exhibit encourages this perspective through literary and visual images that work both independently and together, inspiring contemplation and discovery of their layered meanings.
